Co-Founder & Director,
Sahan Cares
Founded in 2012 and built without venture capital or philanthropic funding, Sahan Cares has grown into a workforce of over 90 employees, all from refugee backgrounds. The organisation has created more than 400 jobs, trained over 600 women in health and social care, and delivered over one million hours of essential care. What distinguishes Sahan Cares is not the mission, but the results. The organisation achieves 92% workforce retention in a sector where the industry average is 27%, demonstrating how investing properly in people through support, flexibility, and progression directly improves service quality, stability, and cost efficiency in essential services. This performance differential has been sustained over 13 years across policy shifts and economic cycles.>BR>Abdul's work sits at the intersection of healthcare delivery, workforce design, migration, and place-based systems. His focus is on how overlooked labour markets, when structured correctly, can become some of the most reliable workforces in the economy.
Alongside leading Sahan Cares, Abdul is completing doctoral studies focused on digital inclusion and online participation among ageing populations. He was named UK Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2024 and serves as a Board Member of ActionAid UK.
